Hi Bob,

As you know, Duration is always measured in working time, so if Saturday and
Sunday are non-working days, the default Duration field does not count them.

There is a work around using a custom duration field and a custom calendar.
Create a new calendar (Tools>Change Working Time). Copy the Standard
calendar, name it (I used 7Day) and make Saturdays & Sundays working days.
Then insert a custom duration field ([Duration1] for example) in the task
table. Choose Tools>Customize Fields and select the [Duration1] field.
Click the Formula... button and use the following formula:

ProjDateDiff([Start],[Finish],"7Day")

In the Customize fields dialog box, click the Use Formula option for the
task and group summary rows.

This will calculate the number of calendar days between the start of the
task and the finish of the task using the 7Day calendar. .

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

You cannot create folders in the Project Server database. To categorize
your projects, you should consider using either custom enterprise Project
fields or outline codes. Hope this helps.

New Project

Posted: 29 Apr 2005 11:06 AM PDT

There are about 15 subtasks for each of these 5 tasks. It looks like a huge
ball of string with 300 trucks and numerous lags. I need to allocate all
resources for the tasks, material and labor. A little different from others
I have done.. Looking for ideas... Thanks..

Can I change the Duration field format?

Note that there's also a checkbox to remove the space between the number and
the letter.

Filtering a Resource Graph

Posted: 29 Apr 2005 08:28 AM PDT

Use the FILTER buttom and the given filters. If none of the built-in
Microsoft Office Project 2003 filters meet your needs, you can create a new
filter or modify an existing filter.

On the Project menu, point to Filtered for, and then click More Filters.
To create or modify a task filter, click Task.
To create or modify a resource filter, click Resource.

To create a new filter, click New, and then type a new name for the filter
in the Name box.
To modify an existing filter, click a filter name in the Filters list, and
then click Edit.

Under Filter, click a field name and a test.
In the Value(s) column, type or select a value to test for or set a range of
values by typing two values separated by a comma(,).
If the filter will contain more than one criterion row, select new
conditions on the row immediately underneath the first row, and then click an
operator in the And/Or column of the same row.
Click OK, and then click Apply.

Regards,

I used 2003 before under my employers group license. Since then I have
retired and Windows died. I rebuilt the system and installed my personal copy
of project 98. When i double click, nothing happens. No error or message of
any kind. I have tried repair and uninstall/reinstall many times and it is
the same. Before i spend anymore time on this, i wnated assurance from
someone that it works. MediaCenter should be the same as XP Professional.

Interim Plans

Posted: 29 Apr 2005 12:00 AM PDT

Interim Plans can be saved in MS Project 2003. You can compare an interim
plan with the baseline plan or current plan to monitor project progress or
slippage. You can save up to 10 interim plans. By comparing baseline or
current information with an interim plan, you can track task start and finish
dates only, not work or costs. You can save up to 10 interim plans for each
project plan.

On the Tools menu, point to Tracking, and then click Save Baseline.
Click Save interim plan.
In the Copy box, click the name of the baseline or interim plan with the
start and finish or baseline start and finish values you want to save.
In the Into box, click the name of the interim plan into which you want to
copy the values.
Click Entire project or Selected tasks to save the portion of the schedule
you want.

After saving an interim plan, you can view the plan's start and finish dates
by inserting its fields into the Task Sheet view; for example, if you've
saved three interim plans, you can view the dates saved in the third plan by
inserting the Start3 and Finish3 fields

Using the Gantt Chart Wizard, you can instantly change the formatting of
items such as the critical path, display link lines between dependent tasks,
or select color options and patterns for Gantt bars representing summary
tasks, subtasks, or milestones.

Follow the instructions on the gantt chart wizard and select custom fields
in the gantt chart wizard to display the fields related to the interim plan.

Fixed Work Task

Posted: 28 Apr 2005 02:13 PM PDT

JodyJ,

I agree with and am not sure why both resrouces are not updating. That
really is something I dont' get either.

The reason your units are changing when you change the duration of a task is
because you have fixed work selected. Change your type from fixed work to
fixed units before you change the duration and then the units will stay the
same. Then you will see the hours of work increase or decrease depending on
the direction you change the duration.

Hi Chaz
Are you sure you haven't allocated work to a summary task inadvertently?
Easy to do. Insert a resource column to check.

Project 98 and Value Lists?

Posted: 28 Apr 2005 06:54 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

It's simple: P98 did not know field customizing at all.
So no formula, no graphical indicator, no value list, no specific treatment
of summary tasks.

Special Snapshot View

Posted: 27 Apr 2005 03:09 PM PDT

Hi Ryan
Have you tried using the Resource Usage view with the master project open.
Just insert a column for the project on the LHS. If the fies are open then
the filename will show, if not it will show the path.
As you have a resource pool then all resources are listed with all the
tasks, in all the projects, with the flexibility of roll-up to resource
summary level. You can drill down to find the cause of overallocation..
You don't need to do any VBA to get these views.

Regards...............Pratta

Can I print with gridlines accross the columns (Gantt View)

Posted: 27 Apr 2005 01:00 PM PDT

Or ... are you asking if you can have horizontal rows across your Gantt
chart?

If that's the case:

Right click in a blank part of your Gantt chart, choose Gridlines. On
the left you'll see
"Line to change" and Gantt Rows is an option. Choose a type of line,
and even choose what interval you want.
Check Print Preview.

Again, I may have answered a question that isn't exactly what you were
asking.
